Separation of church and state is woven into the fabric of our republic. The founders, whatever they personally believed, knew that this separation was the only guarantee for true religious freedom. Religious liberty cannot exist until we separate church and state.

Yesterday, the US broke 100,000 daily cases for the first time ever. 107,872, up more than 50% from two weeks ago. 1,616 people died in one day. More Americans died of COVID this week than were killed on 9/11. Which raises the question, Dave, what the fuck is wrong with you?

As a constitutional attorney, I just want to say that upholding the Constitution is in no way an "unconstitutional maneuver" and upholding the law is not "illegal." It's not anti-democratic to bar someone from office for committing anti-democratic acts, like insurrection.

There is no freedom OF religion without a government that is free FROM religion. This is one reason the founders invented state—church separation. Our Constitution does not belong to the Christian Nationalists. It belongs to We the People, all the people. Let's take it back.

Mike Johnson, House Republicans' new speaker pick, is anti-democracy, a top election-denier. He's also anti-choice and got his start in politics at a Christian Nationalist outfit that has been the subject of a few exposès recently: Alliance Defending Freedom.

A Colorado court held a trial that lasted 5 DAYS. Hundreds of exhibits. A 2,117-page transcript. Trump put on witnesses and evidence and even rested his case early. After that trial, the court found Trump "engaged in insurrection," which is what the 14th Amendment says.

Supreme Court decision days mean deterioration, retrogression, and even death for Americans. Today, the court eviscerated Miranda warnings and what was left of gun regulation. SCOTUS isn't dispensing justice–it's rewriting the Constitution to fit the ultra-conservative agenda.

Religion shaming you for natural sexual urges is not a sex addiction. It's religious manipulation, imposing shame and sin on a credulous person in a way that binds that person to the church and theology even more tightly because only the religion can absolve them of the "sin."
